  • Reload that infobox, sucka.
    • Done.
  • There's some play-by-play that I think could be reduced. Describing conversations isn't the end of the world, but details like "Idd barked an order at Nikki," "After Lonn had chastised Fromm" seem like overkill.
    • Removed your examples and a bit more... I try and overshoot because it's easier to cut and occasionally I'm not sure what the best practice is... I think what I've left is directly relevant either to the plot or Idd's character.
  • The biography currently ends with Lonn asking his kids to take the droids to an IDA station, per the comic, but Re-animated goes one further and establishes that they do, in fact, take them there. Menkooroo (talk) 01:53, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
  • Hair colour is infobox-exclusive! Also note that blond only has an e when it's feminine.
    • Well, Vik is a bit of a sissy boy. Hair colour noted.
  • Lonn Idd's repair station as the homeworld... I don't think we can say that. The comic doesn't indicate that they live there, and Re-animated kind of hints that they might actually work for the Intergalactic Droid Agency instead.
    • They fly an agency shuttle, but they seem to be working for their father nonetheless in the comic... I've removed the homeworld, that was just a bit of Azzameen Home Base nostalgia creeping through.
  • The "Must do something about it" section is a little emdash heavy. Can you vary up the punctuation? Menkooroo (talk) 11:19, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
    • They don't call me emdash Rendar for nothing. Fixed. Thefourdotelipsis (talk) 22:28, November 6, 2013 (UTC)

  • I'm not sure "Lon Idd" is an appropriate affiliation.... shouldn't it be his father's repair shop?
  • You say that he's not referenced until the blog, but he's got other sources listed. Cade GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit Calrayn 19:21, February 12, 2014 (UTC)
